Material for 

Superior Crochet and 
Macrame Work 



THE success of crochet and macrame work depends 
largely upon the careful choice of superior materials, 
which are suitable for the work and give it the clean and 
workmanlike appearance, which often is missing from work 
that, being made of poor materials, has an amateurish aspect. 

We recommend for cotton crochet work especially the 
following brands: — ■ 

Handicraft Macrame 

Bear Macrame 

D. M. C. Cordonnet, in numbers 3 to 30 

D. M. C. Perle, numbers 3 and 5 



Glossilla Crochet 

This material is used where the highest lustre is recjuired, 
even superior to silk. 



Klondyke Thread 

This is a soft metal thread for crocheting. It comes in a 
rich, bright, gold color; furthermore, in aluminum, antique 
gold and antique silver. This thread is far superior to some 
others in the market, which tarnish easily and are hard, kinky 
and unsatisfactorv to work. 



Solitaire Yarn 

This is the most lustrous ball cotton yarn and comes in a 
large assortment of colors, suitable for soft effects.

DESCRIPTION OF STITCHES 




TERMS USED. 

ch chain stitch 

s. c single crochet 

d. c double crochet 

tr. c treble crochet 

a sign of a repetition to begin at that point 




CHAIN STITCH. 

This is the foundation of all crocheting, and throughout this volume is 
referred to as ch. 

Make a loop on the needle, pull another loop of thread through it, and 
repeat until the desired length has been made. Each loop is called one 
chain. 




SINGLE CROCHET STITCH. 

This stitch is frequently known as half stitch, and is referred to here 
as s. c. 

Commence with a length of ch. 

First row : insert the hook in the second ch. from the needle and draw 
the thread through, thread over needle and through the 2 loops upon the 
needle. Continue to work in this way in each ch. until the other end is 
reached. 



Second row : turn the work, insert the needle to take up the double 
thread of the top of first stitch next to the needle, and draw the thread 
through, again giving 2 loops upon the needle. Work across the row in 
this way, and continue in the same way for as many rows as desired. 
In turning, care must be taken not to skip tire first stitch of preceding row. 



^^i>. 







DOUBLE CROCHET STITCH. 

Ihis stitch is known by many as "plains," and is referred to here as d. c. 

Commence with a length of ch. 

First row : thread over needle, insert the hook in the fourth ch. from 
the needle and draw the thread through, giving 3 loops upon the needle. 
Thread over the needle and through 2 loops, again the thread over the 
needle and through 2 loops. For the second stitch, * thread over needle 
and through next ch. along row, again giving 3 loops upon the needle. 
Thread over and through 2 loops and then over and through 2 loops more, 
as before. Repeat from * to other end of ch. 

Second row : turn, ch. 3, thread over needle, insert the hook in the 
top of the second d. c. on preceding row, taking up both threads as in s. c. 
and work as with first row. 

Repeat for the number of rows required. 




TREBLE CROCHET STITCH. 

Treble crochet stitch is matle in the same way as double crochet, only 
winding the thread on the needle twice instead of once. Work the 
stitches ofif the needle as follows : thread over and through 2, thread over 
the needle and through 2, thread over the needle and through 2. Long 
treble crochet stitch is made in same way, wrapping thread three or four 
times as desired. 



RIBBED SINGLE CROCHET OR SLIPPER STITCH. 

A variation of single crochet, frequently called railroad stitch. 

Instead of taking np the second and succeeding rows on the front and 
back threads of the stitches in the preceding row, take them up on the 
back thread only. This forms a rib. 




COFFEE BEAN STITCH. 

Make a ch. as long as is needed. 

First row: pull loop on needle up long (about half an inch), thread 
over needle and in first ch. stitch, pulling this loop up as long as the first 
one. Thread over needle and through 3 stitches, ch. i. * Skip next ch. 
on foundation. Thread over needle and through the next ch., thread over 
needle and through same ch. Thread over needle and through all the 
loops on needle. Ch. i. Repeat from * for length of row. 

Second row: pull loop on needle up long and ch. i. In this way a half 
bean is formed to keep the edge even. Continue across row, making a 
bean in each space and at the very end make another half bean. 

Third row : make i bean in each space, counting the loop on needle as 
first loop of first bean. 

Repeat second and third rows until the work is the correct size. 




KNOT STITCH. 

Make a loop in the thread a little less than half an inch long. Hold 
the knot between the thumb and forefinger and * through the loop pull 
another loop of the thread, this time very short, since it is really the first 
loop of a s. c. Take up the second loop of the s. c. through the new 



long loop. Pull the thread through the 2 loops on needle and the s. c. 
(or knot, as it is called) is finished. The present loop on the needle 
should he pulled u]) long and corresponds to the first loop made. When 
it is pulled up, lu)l(l the knot just made hetween the thumb and forefinger, 
and repeat the directions from ■''■ until sufficient width is acquired, ending 
the row with a knot. Each loop, it will be observed, is formed of three 
threads. 

Second row : turn and hold the double side of the loop toward the top. 
Make 1 s. c. in the fourth knot from needle, then 2 loops and 2 knots, 
caught down in sixth knot, putting i s. c. through the double thread on 
the right side of knot and another s. c. on the left side of knot. Continue 
in this way, catching down with 2 s. c. in every other knot. 

Third row : make 3 loops and 3 knots to turn, make 2 s. c. in last knot 
in second row (skipping the s. c. worked in first row). " then 2 loops and 
2 knots, catching down in next knot of second row. Repeat from * across 
row, a perfect square of 4 loops being formed every time the loops are 
caught down. 

Repeat third row throughout the work. 




STAR STITCH. 

Make a ch. of the desired length. Turn, pull a loop through each of 
the first 4 chs., as in afghan stitch, thread over needle, and through the 
5 loops now on needle. Ch. i, thus completing the first star. To form 
second star, draw thread through eye of preceding star (the little hole 
formed by the stitch just made), through back of last loop of preceding 
star, and through next 2 stitches on the ch. Finish star as before. Con- 
tinue to work as for second star until row is complete, then fasten and 
break ofif. 

Second row: again begin at the other end. Make a loop on the needle, 
and catch it in the very edge, with a slip stitcE Ch. 3. First star, draw 
thread through 2 lower chs., through back of first loop in first star on 
preceding row. and through eye of same star. There are 5 loops on the 
needle. Finish star as usual. 

The remaining stars in this and follnwing rows arc taken up as fol- 
lows : eye of preceding star, back of last loop of same star, back of first 
loop of star in row below, eye of same star. Care must be taken to follow 
directions e.\act]^• at the ends, otherwise the work will not be even.
